For inexpensive gifts or to meet the needs of some of the unique family members on your list, check out two events in December which will benefit a local charity, Pet Assistance and Welfare Society of Athens, Inc.

PAWS is sponsoring a Used Book & Garage Sale from 10 a.m.-7 p.m., through Sunday at Green Acres Shopping Center on Barnett Shoals Road, next to DePalma's. Hundreds of good quality used books are available, as well as interesting garage sale items.

Also, the 3rd Annual Holiday Gifts for Pets will take place beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday at Georgia Square Mall. Among the merchandise will be hand-knitted mice, gourmet home baked dog treats, quilted chair protectors, felted wool balls with bells and many more items for cats and dogs. A few items for cat and dog lovers (i.e., humans) will also be available.
